Picked up flat stitch in bride's clothing (9)
I believe the answer is:
trousseau
'clothing' is the definition.
(trousseau is a kind of clothing)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trousseau that I've seen before include "Bridal outfit" , "Bridal accessories" , "not top-drawer stuff" , "All that a bride needs!" , "A bride's collection of clothing" .)
